OSX can't share files with XP partitioned volume - Boot Camp issue
Macbook partitioned into two volumes. One is OSX and the other is Win XP. When i'm running OSX, i can't drag drop any files to the XP mounted volume. How do i fix this?
I did attempt to open permissions but that did not work ... or at least it didn't work for me.
thanks
matt
hi mlannoo,
did you format the windows partition as NTFS or FAT32?
the latter is the one that OSX can write to.
NTFS is read-only on the mac side.
there are 3rd party applications that can get you around this issue (IIRC one example is the SharePoints), but if you want OSX to be able to write to the windows partition w/out add'l apps, then you need that windows drive to be FAT32....
cheers

Can I share files with others with iCloud Drive? ie: I want to collaborate on Garageband files
No iDisk-like functionality exists in iCloud. You'll have to look elsewhere, such as Dropbox or SugarSync.

Can you use Windows 7 to partition a Boot Camp created dedicated PC drive (not just a PC partition on a Mac drive) into multiple PC partitions?
Can you download this utility, it is a close equivalent of the gpt command, but has more features? (It is more than likely that Windows took over and converted this to an MBR disk).
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/
Once you have it installed you run it as follows. You can execute using either /dev/disk1 or /dev/rdisk1 as the parameter.
type gdisk
gdisk is /usr/sbin/gdisk
sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
Password:
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.9

Can't share files with Macbbok Air and Windows XP PC
Despite several calls to apple support I am still unable to share files with the PC.The PC is wired to the router and the macbook is wireless.
I can see the shared files on my PC in the finder of the MAC but whan I click on the file it says that 'original item "shared file" cannot be found'.
or when connecting via go-connect to server-, the error message
' the volume "Shared file" cannot be mounted' appears, this is followed by a message 'sorry the operation could not be completewd because an unexpected error occurred (Eror code -6602)
I can also only connect as a guest via Finder and sometimes when trying to connect the error maessages do not appear but the computer seems to absorb a lot of CPU usage, get hot and freeze.
Any ideas please?
I have tried turning off firewalls on both computers and have spoken to support for the d link router who confirmed that the router doesnt block file sharing.Actually, I just typed in smb://PCNAME without any folders, logged in as a guest (I don't have a password-enabled share setting in Windows 7), and my Mac kindly asked me which volume to mount. I chose Users, and it popped up in Finder. Fully browsable.

Hi Apple Team, my iphone can't share bluetooth files with my macbook pro. But other devices can share bluetooth files with my mac book pro. Please, kindly open up bluetooth to accept all connections from all devices. Now it difficult for me to share bluetooth files from my mac bookpro to my iphone, unless i attached it through email.
We need it to be acceptable to all devices.
Thank you!You can tell Apple directly at the link below.

How can ipad share files with windows pc?
Can the iPad be connected to a Windows 7 PC and used to share files between Word and Pages?
Word files can be opened and edited in Pages on the iPad and you can send the files to the iPad via email, by using a service like DropBox or by using iOS file sharing. This will explain how to use file sharing.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4094
You might want to be aware of the fact that some editing features will be lost from the Word files when you open them Pages - fonts will be limited - some formatting issues may arise - Pages on the iPad just doesn't work like Word on a computer. -
LG KF750 Secret - can't share files with Bluetooth
Hello,
To my surprise I can't browse LG KF750 phone folder structure on my Mac (iMac Alu 3.06 GHz, 10.5.7) - I get an error that the request could not be completed ("Bad request"). I can't send files from my LG to the Mac, either - similar error on the phone screen.
I have the iMac and LG devices paired succesfully, though.
Any ideas? Thanks!

In Windows I have no problems whatsoever.
Also, the actual error looks like this: (at the very bottom it says "zle zadanie" which means "Bad request")

Lion - how can I share files with another account on same computer
Lion has dropped public files and airdrop only works over wifi. How do I share files between two accounts on same computer?
I found and turned on "system preferences / file sharing" but also had to go to Finder preferences and select show "Hard Disks" to be able to see other users public folder.

Can't share files with Macbook Air L 10.5.2 with windows XP
Just brought new macbook Air. Main fault so far is that depsite seeing shared files in finder the error massages:
'unable to find original item'
or file cannot be mounted occur.
i also can only connect as 'guest'
worst still on some attempts to connect to the Pc the MAC goes into hyperspace becomes very hot and unresponsive with the beachball still appearing after several attempts to cmd alt esc.
I have now had to hold down the on off button three times in as many days
Does this MAC need to go back to the shop?
Is the windows sharing with leopard 10.5 still an unresolved issue?
Help PleaseUninstall iTunes, reboot, install iTunes again. See if that helps.

Can AirDrop share files with an iPod Touch?
Can AirDrop be used to send and receive PDFs (or other files) between a MacPro and a 3rd gen iPod Touch?
No. AirDrop is for sharing files between AirDrop users, meaning Macs with Lion installed, and even so, as babowa says, not every Mac supports it. It's a Lion feature, currently not present in iOS.

How should i share file with other devices such as nokia,blackberry and etc using bluetooth
I want to share files between other deivce such as nokia but couldnt, could u help me tell how can i share files with other devices???
@AKRBTN: Thanks for the reply and info.
That is a solution, but it really isn't viable.
It is sad that apple refuses to support this.
A simple example: Sitting somewhere with no signal and you want to share a file (photo) with your colleague or friend, who happens to be right next to you.
Or even if there is signal and you don't want to be paying fees or data charges.
Or you may be in a rehearsal studio and need to share that very important file and have no time to go outside and get signal and try to send the file, which then everyone else has to go outside and catch the signal and pay fees.
Anyway, I see that this is a dead end with apple, so I guess I will be back to carrying 2 phones around again.
Peace,

Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X.? Need to share files up to 6GB.
I need to know if the 20 gb limit is about all that I share, or if it's just about whatis in the clouds. If I take, recover my limit?
The speed of upload e download is good?The Creative Cloud file storage could be used for video assets but speed and performance might vary based on location. I would suggest you testing it out yourself using your Adobe ID before subscribing. Performance would not change after you joined.

I have imported my pictures into aperture, how do I export into jpeg files so i can share files with friends who dont use aperture ?
If you want the same export settings on some or all of the images you can select all that have the same export requirements and export them as a group.
If all the images have the same requirements then you can select them all and run the export command.
